Sammmm! I adore you❤Thank you for allowing me to experience first hand your life in The Netherlands. I can only describe it as gezellig!! Thank you, to all the wonderful compliments from your subscribers. It’s only a continuous reflection of the warmth and kindness I received from all those I encountered in the the Netherlands. The rain didn’t put a damper on my experience. I enjoyed everything the day had to bring. I will journey back in the future. Until then, I will treasure the memories we made together on and off camera. ❤ mom
😢😢❤️❤️
Best mom in the world! 😊❤👍🏽
My heart is melting you guys. Glad you enjoyed your stay in our little country. Best wishes from The Netherlands!
Ahhhhh, what a sweetheart you are, and what a great son you raised!
Hey, Mom of Sam! Glad you like our little country. We loved having you over.
One of the most special moments of my life! I'll never forget this trip. Hope you all enjoy.
Your mum is a very young and beautiful woman !
You take good care of your momma , you are a good son.
I feel the love
Wow your mom is an absolutely beautiful woman. Looks so young if you said she was your sister no one would doubt it. Glad you both had a wonderful time. She seems like a very warm and kind person. Hope this is one of her many visits to The Netherlands. 😊
Really nice of you to say that! I think she'll be really happy reading all of these comments haha
Yes,could be the sister
@@frankgeurts3912 I agree, she looks great.
@@Jo_Kuiper thank you ☺️
Echt hartverwarmend. Super gaaf dat je dit allemaal hebt kunnen delen met je moeder. Je boft wel behoorlijk met zo'n moeder en je moeder boft ontzettend veel met jou als haar zoon.
Heel erg bedankt!
ochies wat een bofkontje

Goede moeders hebben goede kinderen.
Om het maar heel abstract te formuleren.
Ze heeft een prima product af geleverd.
Of is dat iets te direct haha.
Wow. My first thought was "this is your MOTHER??" She looks so young, with the brightest smile and the kindest eyes, both of which she gave to you too. You both are the staple example of how inner beauty shines through to the outside. So good to see you have such great time together. Glad our tiny country could host those precious moments. You really did a fantastic job of showing her the gist of how it is to live here 👍👍
Wow, thank you Erwin!!! What a comment😁🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yes my first thought was, this must be your sister. She is a very beautiful woman.
You really went out of your way to show her diverse locations, such a good representation of our country. Dankjewel!
Dankjewel, Willem! Ik heb mijn beste probeerd te doen!
@@exploringtheforeign Ik heb geprobeerd mijn best te doen. / Ik heb mijn best proberen te doen. The first one would be the most grammatically correct. Love the video, it's so nice to see how proud your mother is of you. Keep it up !

Desalniettemin wens ik je een prettig weekend.
Mensen zoals jij maken ons stukje aarde toch net weer iets mooiers! Welkom in Nederland! je intregratie is opmerkelijk! :D goede representatie van ons land! Dank je wel!
Wat lief! Dankjewel!
Big ups to this guy. Such a cheerful and positive fella. Respect for actually speaking Dutch too
Heel erg bedankt!!
I love it that you showed your mum several cities in the Netherlands and not only Amsterdam. She really seems to have enjoyed it.
She did! :)

Provincial remark right here
Lieve Sam, je hebt de mooiste, jong uitziende moeder van de hele wereld! Ook leuk om te zien hoe hartelijk je “schoonouders” haar hebben ontvangen! Jammer dat een week zo kort is hè, maar ik hoop dat ze nog eens terugkomt! ❤Hil
Dankjewel, Hil!!
Hey Sam, stumbled onto your channel. As a Dutch person I feel obligated to share that your Dutch is so good. Respect
Hey! Dankjewel! Really nice to hear😁
It's been great to see you showing the Netherlands to your mother. Reminds me of the first time my Filipino father in law visited the Netherlands in 1997. Since then he has visited us regularly ( > 15 times) and every time I enjoyed him enjoying to be here. Whenever we had a trip planned he was the first waiting at the car in his smartest outfit. We visited most countries of Europe with him and our children and he loved every moment at every place. Sadly he passed away 2 years ago... enjoy the time with your family and enjoy life together
Aw man, sorry about the loss, Jan. But glad that the video brought back nice memories that you shared with him. I'll remember the last words you shared, to enjoy time with family and enjoy life together!
Nice video Sam. I knew before she ate the herring that she would not like it. Americans are allergic to herring (and licorice). Too bad about the pouring rain. She needs to come back soon to experience Efteling. She really knows now that you are happy here. Your smile says enough. Now i know you got that wonderful smile from your mom. ❤❤❤
Thank you, Michel!! Yeah, I knew she wasn't going to be a fan either haha, but had to have her give it a try. I'll definitely have her experience the Efteling next time! And yup, I get the smile from her. :)
First off, your mother is a GORGEOUS lady. She has the kindest eyes and a beautiful smile. It was lovely seeing you showing her around. I hope she gets to visit again soon, and hopefully for a longer time. Bummer about the weather, and hopefully next time she’ll get to experience more and in sunnier circumstances.
Dankjewel, Edda!! We hebben er 100% genoeten! Next time will definitely be in a better season :)
Your mom is beautiful Sam, glad she enjoyed the trip, she raised a very handsome and respectful son..
Thank you!!!
Right!
What a great week you spent with your mom, Sam, and I'm glad she enjoyed her visit to the Netherlands. She is bound to come back again soon.
Thank you, Dik!!
So amazing made me cry. She is my friend and the most amazing person ❤. She loves her kids and will do anything for them ❤❤❤
Aw man! Hopefully happy tears :) And you're right about what you said about my mom :)
@@exploringtheforeign yes happy tears💜 she’s just an amazing person. 🙏🏾 she always talks about you guys and you make her so proud. I’m happy she shared this with me
Welcome to the Netherlands mom, hope you will enjoy your stay, in our small country.
Love how you use the word NEE, alot of time🤣🤣🤣🤣
im flabbergasted how good your dutch is, wasnt it really difficult learning dutch? as a dutch person myself I always try to imagine how hard it must be for an english speaking person to learn dutch yet your dutch is really good.
also the hug with your mom at the start when she saw you at the airport made me say 'awwww' out loud so wholesome
Thank you!! Surprisingly, it hasn't been too difficult! And I'm glad you enjoyed the video!😃I found it very special to share this moment
Invite her over again for a trip to the Efteling, she deserves it!
Your mom's comment about how organized it is here, funny, funny. Enjoyed the video - from another Yank in NL.
Thanks, Michael! How do you like it here?
@@exploringtheforeign Love it here for a lot of the reasons you share. Previously was in France, and the bureaucracy there is just too much. Beautiful place, visit there a lot, but NL is a bit more me. Live in Delft - it's like living in a Dutch postcard.
@@exploringtheforeign What are you doing for King's Day? A bit of of a party around my house on a canal in Delft. Would you like to join?
This, right here, this is what life's all about. Good job, Sam!
Dankjewel! En je hebt gelijkt, dit is alles voor me!
If the fishshop owner asks you if you want to have onions with the haring respond with this:"Does it need it?" /// Als de visboer vraagt of je uitjes bij de haring wilt reageer dan met "Heeft ie het nodig?". Cause in the early days haring would remain in the barrel for so long that it would get saltier as time past. The onion helped with that saltiness so hence, haring and onions combo :). Big difference to is like if you visit friends here you get invited in for a cup of coffee or a drink like on the spot. You dont have that in America, often the response is "it doesnt fit their schedule" but will invite you some other time. Also in America you basicly live to work, you got to be standby like 24/7 and also in the holidays. Here in the Netherlands its the other way around, we work to live, working in the holidays? no way :). working less with more pay? yes please! America should copy our trafficlight systems to, especially in the city's. No more waiting when there is nobody around and instantly green lights.
Now I know where you got that contagious smile from! Love your mom and I'm glad she enjoyed her time and you guys got to see each other again
Thanks! :)
It's heartwarming to see that your mother enjoys herself so much. You have a charming, beautiful and sweet mom. ❤
Thank you!!!
Your mother is absolutely gorgeous!! I hope she’s had a wonderful time ! I’ve always wanted to show my American grandparents where I live, but unfortunately they can’t make it due to health problems. It’s nice to see others being able to enjoy Amsterdam and my country. Greetings from Nijmegen ❤️
Thank you, Britney! Really kind of you. And sorry to hear with your grandparents.. hopefully videos like this can at least give them an idea of what it's like in the Netherlands :) Nijmegen is a great city, by the way!
That was so sweet and civilized that it went some way towards restoring my faith in humanity
Haha, thank you!!
Lmao not me just taking a bite of my Appelflap as your mom tries one!! Beautiful channel boss, I am in media, I will definitely keep talking about your channel until you get approached by Humberto Tan or another Dutch TV show for a nice interview/table talk to promote your work. You are a notable Dutch citizen!❤
Wat toevallig! Haha
And wow. thank you! That means a lot. Would be amazing to be featured on someone's program!
Yes! Regel dit!
This is amazing man, so wonderful that your mom came to visit and experience a bit of the Dutch culture with you, a great video as always!
I appreciate it! Really enjoyed my time with her and glad she did too.
Hi Sam, does your Mom adopt? I’m putting myself forward in that case, your Mom rocks and she’s beautiful!! It must have been awesome showing her around in the country you are now an asset to! And how great that we get to know her a little bit now! @Mom: you did a great job raising Sam and how lovely to see you both so proud of each other! Take care, the both of you ❤
@Robert, thank you so much for your kind words. ❤
Aw man, thank you, Robert! It definitely was a great experience to be able to share this with her. As for the adoption, I'll have her send the papers over haha.
Honestly, I really look up to your positivity. You've inspired me to be more positive and outgoing myself. It's really awesome to see this positivity reflected in the relationship you have with your mom. Truly, if everyone in the world was only 50% as kind as you guys are, this world would be truly amazing.
Wow! I don't even know what to say.
Thank you for sharing this; I'm just sharing a piece of my life experiences on the internet but it's really special to hear that it can have this kind of impact. Your positivity will rub off on someone else as well!!😁
This is so lovely to see! I am so glad your mother liked the experience and for you to have been able to show her around. My son (he is 25) moved to Switzerland last year and I visited him two times. That was so nice, him showing me around in his new country. I also wanted to get a view of his daily live and went to the supermarket with him. Just the normal things, that made my image complete. Besides that we visited several cities and walked up mountains, it is a beautiful country. Now when we talk on facetime - he ususally calls when he is on a walk, I see his village and recognise it, that is so nice!
Dankjewel, Mai! And that's really sweet, you could definitely relate to this video then. :)
She definitely has to come back in the summer. She probably won't wanna leave 😂❤
😂😂 sowieso!
Don't know if you have already been there, but a tip to visit these 2 places: Zuiderzee museum and Zaanse Schans. These are open air museums with lots of windmills and you can see how the Dutch used to live in the Olden days. A must see! You will love it! Great video btw ❤
Awesome video Sam! Have a blast with your mum! Greetings from New Zealand😊By the way, saw you on the All Your Need is Love Christmas TV programme from 2019 the other day haha(I was watching it to learn some interesting Dutch phrases. Going to visit a few Dutch friends in Groningen in July). Nga Mihi, Evan
Thank you, Evan!! And ayyyye, I've been waiting for someone to catch that! haha, yeah that was a really crazy experience in my life. Now that you've called it out, I may need to make a video on it haha.
Maybe we'll run into each other when you're out here!
Thank you for watching :)
What a great idea to go to a Pannenkoekenhuis😂
Nice to see that your mom is enjoying the netherlands so much!!! nice video
Dankjewel Stan!!
Wat een leuke video Sam! Jij en je moeder zijn lieve mensen. Ik had je moeder wat beter weer gegund, want dan is Nederland op zijn best! Ook de stad Utrecht is een aanrader voor de volgende keer. Ga zo door!! Groetjes 😁
Dankjewel Sam! En waren eigenlijk ook naar Utrecht geweest😁 ik heb het gewoon niet in de video geplaats, ook meer andere dingen. Dankjewel voor het kijken!
Kudos for learning Dutch in 2,5 years! And great to see you brought your mom to so many different places, lovely video.
Thank you!
Lovely mom and son 🥰
Actually what you said about Scheveningen is an experience my mom had when she came over here in the ‘60’s from Finland. A man angrily asked her to pronounce “Scheveningen” as she was riding the tram with my older brother who was still a baby.. I think my mom said she tried but couldn’t. She laughed “like a farmer with a tooth-ache” telling me about that situation..
I could not stop smiling! And you nailed the pronounciation of Schiphol! And the rest of your Dutch is fantastic given you have only been here for two years! So I liked.
Dankjewel Frans!!
Hi Sam, wat maak jij vette filmpjes! Als een Nederlandse die nog nooit ergens anders heeft gewoond vind ik het heel leuk om te zien hoe Nederland wordt ervaren door iemand die dit meemaakt na heel ergens anders gewoond te hebben. Gaaf!!
Mooie herinneringen opdoen met je moeder!❤
❤️❤️❤️
Your mother is an angel Sam!. So nice seeing her enjoying herself and getting to know what your life is over here.
Thank you, Hank! It was a real special moment.
you are all amazing people it warms my hart ❤❤❤
You're too kind, Henno! Thank you!
What a lovely video!! Thank you for sharing with us! I can’t wait to explore the Netherlands for myself some day.
Your mom is such a lovely person ❤
The positivity and happiness of this video are off the scale. It really made me smile.
And I want to thank you for not just staying in Amsterdam, but taking your mom to Den Bosch, my favourite city.
Thanks for a wonderful video.
This is nice to hear, thank you!! And yeah, I had to bring her to Den Bosch!
Great video :)
Thank you, Remco!
Wat een heerlijke positieve video!
So amazing your mom visited! 😄
Hi Sam!
Thanks for sharing this with us.
@sams mom......I'm glad that you enjoyed the Netherlands, and when you come back for another visit, consider coming during late spring and summertime (mid May - end September). The weather will be better and there will be so much more to do and see.
Dankjewel Valery!!
Great to see you had so much fun... Hopefully you'll be able to catch that trip to the Efteling in the near future together

I don't know how I ended up with this video in my feed but I really enjoyed the way your mom was enjoying herself
Mom's pronunciation while ordering herring was spot on! Almost without accent.
That's not beginners luck. She has a knack for it.
And she is gorgeous. 😍
Haha, I was also impressed!
What a great video! So glad your mom enjoyed her stay in the Netherlands! It was also really nice to get to know her! Wish you and your mom all the best! 🥰
